Basically a player created a Reddit post about a get quick rich scheme about creating a cheap Legendary, bought up all the mats he claimed he used at a low price and sold them for high before the Reddit users caught on to the scam. I thought it was pretty damn funny that people can get sucked in like that.

While I agree you have to be an idiot to go for something like this without some research in a supposed to be rare item (I don't play GW2 so I don't know how much 80g is either.) I don't find it funny. I'm strongly against scamming people, I almost kicked out a guildie on WoW for scamming people...it was on a small scale so I let it pass this once.

Ee-yeah, this is pretty awful and something should definitely be done about that guy if at all possible. Just because you CAN scam someone (and people fall for it), doesn't mean you should. Let's have some basic decency and respect for our fellow humans, yeah?

I'm in two minds about this. On one hand, you should never trust random strangers giving you a "get rich quick" scheme for free, and anyone who falls for it is, in my honest opinion, fully deserving of losing their money because of it. Like the saying goes, "a fool and his money are easily parted". On the other hand, this is an obvious case of scamming to acquire personal gain due to intentionally spread misinformation, which is against the rules and grounds for suspension.

Le edit: I do think the case of "I was scammed, therefore I will not enjoy the game any more" is horribly extremist and an overreaction, but that's simply based on how I would react if I was in that situation. A less emotionally stable person could surely lose the desire to enjoy the game.

Hilarious, always nice to see scams go through. In EvE scamming is something pretty normal; however, when it happens in other games where people are frowning upon such practices I can't help but smile.
